Sketchbook Pages

Too exhausted to write anything on here. It took me an hour this time to sign in to blogger. I don't remember my password but somehow I was able to get in. Well let me try to explain what this is. Its all stuff from my sketch book, been meaning to update sooner but I always seem to have an excuse .......my scanners not working I can't sign in , this is too big to scan, I was going to borrow a camera but eh( I'm a little bitch and a wine ER sometimes). Well anyway this is some of the sketches Ive been sneaking into my sketchbook. Trying hard to concentrate on one drawing at a time but its seems that I have add that I can't shake off or I just have to get back to work. I guess I feel like I just need to improve faster and the more I do the better Ill get, but then you can argue if you spend lots of hours one drawing and make it look good (render/shading/color) you demonstrate skills of a ninja. But overall excited about getting back on the computer which is really what I need to do and model some ideas that I have. No need to maximize any images there all just seconds of pencil sweeping, nothing ambitious all for practice and development. I'm actually a better critic , even tovu said he will pay for my words. Oh yeah lastly the elephant warrior guy is an updated version of the one I posted a while back. I did this a while back but did this on big paper along with extended turnaround of him 3/4 and back side. There's a couple of guys I have to draw on smaller paper so I can scan. Reason for drawing on the big paper was to have the freedom of adding more detail on the face and kind of feeling unrestrained from boundaries, but it takes longer to draw on too. Also been listening to the new Rx bandits CD "and the battle begun".......without a doubt best album out right now, musically and lyrically . Matt embree has to be one of the best lyricist, if you don't agree listen to the whole goddamn albulm and read the lyrics and if your still not convinced give me a band or and artist that has released something better last year or this year. At this point I don't think there is but it would be awesome of one of guys knew and doesn't matter what style or medium its delivered if its good it will stand strong. ahh excuse the grammar and spelling if you read this...

My Space Browsing

The first four pages of these are from My space profiles. The rest are from work or on the bus.

More Developing concepts

Here's half of a turn around for another character I was developing. These poses are stiff static poses just in case I decide to model this eventually. But still not sure if this works for me. Even though you can't tell this was colored in grayscale markers which I never use but Im trying to practice with different stuff.

Nice and dirty lunchtime sketches from today

Dam it took me an hour to remember my pasword and reset everything. Anyway yeah Im crazy for posting these. Put if I don't post this I will hardly ever post stuff on here and then i will never post anything. These are from today at work in between my breaks. Most of these are either made up, magazine reference or people in the break room.Funny thing is that I found a red pen on the table, So I ended up using it on a couple of pages on my last break. I forgot ink smears, but anyway here some stuff, quick and dirty as usual.

Raw Development Sketch

In order to keep my sketch blog from fading into obscurity, heres a raw sketch. That is all.

Work in Progress

This is a concept for one of my character ideas that Iven been stalling on for while. I should of had this modeled by now. But I keep changing my mind on the design and Ive been working over 40 hours a week trying to save up for a car and get my licence back and only adjusting to moving to a new city and finally having most of stuff back(computer, internet) but I still need to go back to San diego to pick up 2 boxes full magazines and art reference books. So heres the last update. Oh yeah I decided to paint one of the sketches instead of bucket filling it in. So this is my first time actually doing it this way, so yeah it needs alot of work. But hey wanted to try something different. Feedback on how to improve the drawing would be appreciated. Been also teaching myself Z-brush as of late and looking to model this guy soon. Dam Im late for work this computer doesn't have the right time.

quick, practice heads

Some heads I did last night.
